Sapphire introduces affordable Fusion ITX board

Sapphire has started shipping a rather affordable ITX Fusion board, dubbed PURE White Fusion. As you could have guessed, it has a black PCB.

It is pretty much a run-of-the-mill E-350 board, with two DDR3 memory slots and a single PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (electrically x4). It features VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs, as well as Ethernet, 7.1 audio and four external USB 2.0 ports. When it comes to internal connectors, White Fusion features four SATA 6gbps connectors and eight USB 2.0 ports.

Its closest competitor is ASRock’s E350M1, which features eSATA support and legacy serial and PS/2 connectors, for people who can’t live without their ancient keyboards. (Yes, you Nick. sub.ed.)

Sapphire’s White Edition is available in Euroland for about €83, which is about the same as the aforementioned ASRock board and at the moment you cannot get anything cheaper as far as E-350 Fusion boards go.
